if you really want to vheck, PM them from the tracker that they gave you ratio proof at.
Een though this is different, i pm'd this guy at ScT and learned i was about to get scammed. But the point is, you know for sure if you PM them.
Also if you want to make sure theres no cheats, make an OiNK ratio a requirement. (and maybe even PM them from there)
i think its a tough call to make i have just made my way up to level 3 trackers and would be pretty p***d of if i got my accounts disabled through bad users as for oink i have not got that so i cant comment about ratio requirement i suppose it comes down to a trust thing i do know that the people that have geneously invited me to sites i have kept good ratios so if i can do it i dont see why others cant:)
that sounds like a good idea......:yup:Quote:

This is all there currently is to find ("Posting guidelines"):
Do NOT Trade Invites Through PM Prior To
- Clicking a members name and selecting View Public Profile.
- Reading some of their posts to get familiar with them.
- If possible check their profile at mutual torrent sites.
- Checking they have a star under their username.
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/ranks/member1.gifIf theres no star DO NOT reply to any messages youve received.
They dont have access and shouldnt be asking for invites.
Make a Report in the Report Section for staff to deal with.
There you can paste the message you received.

ELITE memb is fair i think
Trading with well known members seems fair but we need a forum section for discussing/reporting bad members. At least it may help stop other people getting conned too.
Im put off trading with people with lots of rep points, they tend to be more prolific traders and therefore more dangerous in terms of getting my account disabled, indeed i dont encourage people to add rep points after a trade since its just advertising to sites which im a member at that i may have got the account through trading with people online.
Some people keep going back for invites to the same site where they got disabled without understanding that they can't ever get in again and that they are making life difficult for the person who invited them there.There is no way to verify whether a user was disabled from any site previously unless he/she tells you so.
Suggestion:There should be a sticky regarding this on filesharingtalk Invites forum.
